Our proprietary AI agent platform, powered by Sage on the sell side and Sterling on the buy side, removes 70–80% of the administrative workload, freeing our advisors to focus on what actually drives results: strategy, negotiation, and client relationships.

We have 40 + businesses in our qualified pipeline that are actively interested in using our M&A platform. We need an expert advisor (you) to support with the management of these existing leads to support their end-to-end M&A processes, with the help of our AI agents, Sage and Sterling.

There’s now a proven global model for AI-native advisory: firms like OffDeal (on track to hit ~$10M revenue in 2025 - year two) and Japan’s M&A Research Institute (grew from $0 to $84M in four years and reached unicorn status) have demonstrated the scalability and commercial impact of this AI approach. DealFlowAgent is building the UK’s category leader in this emerging space.

The Role

• Introduce scalable AI native processes that boost advisor productivity and client experience.

Requirements

• Experience in sell-side advisory, investment banking, or corporate development.
• Strong negotiation and client relationship skills — not just back-office analysis.

• Comfortable using and refining outputs from AI or automation tools.

• Familiarity with SaaS, fintech, healthcare, or service sectors is a plus.
